A method of treating a patient with a medical device having immobilized heparin on a blood-contacting surface in which the covalently attached heparinized surface is provided with an adsorbed protein which may be activated by the immobilized heparin to block the coagulation of fibrinogen. Antithrombin III is the preferred adsorbed protein. The adsorbed protein is maintained on the immobilized heparin surface until the medical device is placed into contact with the patient's blood. When in contact with the patient's blood, the adsorbed protein will prevent initial thrombin formation at the biomaterial-blood interface. The preadsorption of ATIII is accomplished under conditions advantageous to maximum heparin/ATIII binding. When the preadsorbed surface comes in contact with whole blood, the maximum advantage of prophlactic properties of ATIII/heparin are obtained.
